well, how about amending the federal firearms act of 1934, to include bump stocks and center fire mags over 10 rounds?
or, do nothing at the federal level and let each state determine what level of gun control is best for them? This is the first time I have ever agreed with Ed Good. Bump Stocks and any other parts that make a semi auto firearm simulate full auto should be considered NFA (National Firearms Act) items & require the same background check & tax stamp as full auto weapons. It is clear to me that some changes are going to happen re. firearms laws given the political climate & or public opinion. Now is the time for the NRA & other organizations to be working to negotiate with support for reasonable changes such as NFA status for the bump stocks & extreme high capacity magazines in exchange for national concealed carry reciprocity, removal of sound suppressors from NFA status & other items. I agree that banning or putting bump stocks & extreme high capacity magazines under NFA classification won't make a major difference in mass shootings but it's most likely to happen anyway so we might as well try to get some useful legislation passed along with it. I would hope magazine capacity could be kept @ around 20 rounds as 10 rounds would outlaw lots of popular handguns. Bullshit. Plenty of gun laws already in place, most of them pretty worthless. Wackos are sneaky. JR
Be strong, be of good courage. God bless America, long live the Republic.

IMHO, the NRA won't abandon their 'never give a inch' position on this. They learned the hard way not to negotiate with the gun haters...Geo

Also, the NFA of 1934 did not ban us from the possession of silencers or machine guns. It placed a $200 tax on them along with a background check. The Las Vegas shooter was a multi-millionaire who easily passed numerous background checks, and could easily afford the NFA tax on restricted items. Ed Good's ideas are just as foolish as always. guess no body here has the balls to answer my question:
disarm...seems to work for the rest of the civilized world...
why not us?

Things have been a little constipated in those hallowed legislative halls recently. If something bipartisan makes it to anyone's desk for signing, I'd be curious if it was an opportune mechanism to attach a bunch of sorely missed pork. I wonder how loosely principals are bound to election cycles.

We already know what ideas you have Ed: next question:
does the second amendment prohibit state and local governments from regulating the keeping of arms by the people?
i believe it does not...what say you? as for the gun control issue...we are the only country in the world that seems to tolerate mass murder, in the name of an individual right...its about time that we as a society realize that we are over gunned with too many super dangerous weapons in the hands of too many super dangerous people... it is long past time to do as the rest of the civilized world has done and simply, disarm...

I think this will belie any assessment that gun laws actually work in regard to criminals. Here's what Australia really doesn't want you to know: Jim http://www.theage.com.au/interactive/2016/gun-city/day1.html
The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.
